Shaw said it was one of his favorite sessions. I like the 'ethnography' descriptor. It's vital music and does transcend the recording quality. The Shaw Ensemble recording would be great to hear. I've never heard a Charles Shaw recording I've not really enjoyed Edited January 16, 2019 by mjazzg Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 https://www.dustygroove.com/item/371496/Jimmy-Witherspoon:Hunh Never heard of this one before, saw a cheap copy on discogs - the sidemen certainly caught my eye (Charles Brown, Red Holloway, Earl Hooker, Art Hillery on organ, Mel Brown). Definitely enjoying this ... Quote

I've never heard a Charles Shaw recording I've not really enjoyed I'm not sure whether it was going to be a Kharma release or a Danola release, but it never came out. Serro was trying to sell the tapes but then he passed, so... who knows. They were mastered and ready to go, too. Bummer. Quote

Funilly enough, I prefer the sound for the side 1 tracks on the 24000 series ‘Sonny Rollins’ 2LP set. Found the Transatlantic by chance a while back - didn’t cost much either. Quote
porcy62 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Is it a transatlantic white label? I've got great sounding records of Pentangle, Renbourn and Jansch. Edited January 17, 2019 by porcy62 Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 My turntable isn't set up yet after the move but I have a short stack of things to play. This is near the top: I want to hear the Bartok 2nd from 1937 again. Quote

It is much better than the many Prestige records he did in the mid fifties. I also enjoy this very much. "Let´s face the music and dance" I think was not often recorded by jazz artists. A strange tune, and not too easy running thru the changes..... quite a challenge for improvisers...... Quote

Dan Gould Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Getting to the end of a large discogs order - was this one issued at the time? I did not know Mainstream to be active in 1965. Anyway had to point out the wonderful quote by Clark Terry at the end of the liners: "It seemed to me there's too much put-down music, put-on music, hurray-for-me music and the-hell-with-everybody music. So we thought we'd have some compatible music." Quote

I find the twoofers' sound excellent, it was my introducion to a lot of new music, maybe I am not really impartial about it. I was a bit mean on the Transatlantic - with the volume cranked up it sounds pretty good. The sound is maybe a bit crisper/polite that typical Prestige, with less ‘bloom’. The issue is from 1966 according to the label and interestingly, no RVG in the runout (not unusual for Transatlantics and Xtras). The 24000 series were some of the earliest LPs I ever got (the Rollins being first, at the time of issue). Not only generally good sonics but often fine sleevenotes too.

Yeah, just got it cranked up and enjoying the heck out if it. Just realised that I have the ‘Free America’ CD of it too. Great sleeve design ! Quote

All Transatlantic of Pentangle (and family) I've got are marvellous sounding, agree about crisper and polite, the white label's are less relaxed then later pressings/issues, that I find a little dull Quote
